This video gives a glimpse into the mind of JJF and if you
haven’t seen his feature film ‘View From A Blue Moon’ we suggest watching it
prior to your surf camp to inspire
you to push your surfing to the next level.
The young Hawaiian’s feature film which was made by leading
extreme sports film company ‘Brain Farm’ was met with rave reviews due to its
state of the art equipment capturing incredible imagery of landscapes,
lifestyle and of course, John John’s surfing!
But now Outside Magazine has made JJF their July cover star
and have delved into his process and inspiration behind the film and how his
love of photography help to drive him through the creative process when making
the film.
“Growing up, my mom took us traveling around the world. And
she was always taking photos everywhere we went. It kind of inspired me to
start taking photos. It gives you a really good understanding of how everything
works, and so you have a better idea of how shots will look. Moving that into
cinema and bigger projects, it’s really cool because the end result comes out
really amazing,” he divulged.
Why not pick up a camera when on your surf camp, and who
knows, by photographing waves you may see them in a whole new light? This can
improve your surfing in the blink of an eye on your surf holiday.
